Abstract

The Hwasan wetland vegetation is observed at mountain basin (644~780 m a.s.l.) where had become a potential land for indigenous people since prehistoric period. We phytosociologically investigated old-growth alder (Alnus japonica) forests using the $Z\ddot{u}rich$-Montpellier School's method and analyzed their spatial distribution pattern by actual vegetation map. Species performance was determined by using coverage and r-NCD. Viburnum opulus var. calvescens-Alnus japonica community syntaxonomically belonging to the Alnetea japonicae was first described and composed of three subunits: Salix koreensis subcommunity, typical subcommunity, and Pyrus ussuriensis subcommunity. Present plant community was compared with vicariant syntaxa such as Molinia japonica-Alnus japonica community, Rhamno nipponicae-Alnetum japonicae, and Aceri-Salicetum koreensis. Hwasan's alder forest, an alluvial terrace vegetation type on valley fan in the montane zone, is evaluated as vegetation class [I], which is a sort of benchmark plant community potentially on mountain wetlands in southeastern part of the Korean Peninsula. Simultaneously we suggested an establishment of the national strategy for habitat conservation free from hydrologically radical transform due to military utilization.

화산습지는 경북 군위와 영천 경계의 산정 분지 (표고 644~780 m)에 위치한다. Z.-M. 학파의 식물사회학적 방법으로 현장 식생조사가 이루어졌고, 현존식생도가 제작되었다. 단위식생의 출현종의 행동양식은 피도와 상대기여도를 이용하여 분석하였다. 버드나무하위군락, 전형하위군락, 산돌배하위군락으로 이루어진 오리나무-백당나무군락이 처음으로 기재되었다. 오리나무 우점림에 대한 선행 기재단위식생 (오리나무-진퍼리새군락, 오리나무-일본갈매나무군집, 버드나무-신나무군집 등)과의 군락분류학적, 군락동태학적 대응성이 논의되었다. 본 군락은 오리나무군강(Alnetea japonicae)에 귀속되고 산간 계류 선상지에서의 분지상(分地狀) 범람원 습생림으로 규정되었다. 화산습지의 잠재자연식생이고 증거 식생형으로서 식생보존등급 [I]의 자연식생으로 평가되었다. 입지의 수리수문 환경조건의 극적인 변화(건생화 및 부영양화)로부터 국가적 보호 전략이 요구되었다.
